P.S. According to spies at the wedding of Sharon Stone and Phil Bronstein:

-- Ray Charles was forced to wait an hour to begin his performance.

-- Dinner was served at 1 a.m.

-- The bride picked up the tab for the wedding, including $40,000 for the invitations alone.

-- The groom is paying for the honeymoon, destination unknown.

FLASH

-- That Stevie Wonder got around -- and played around -- over the weekend. Pianist Billy Philadelphia was playing at Shanghai 1930 on Sunday night when Wonder asked to meet him. The conversation led to some four-handed music; then Wonder tried out a new song, "How Do I Know You Love Me?," "which was so beautiful," writes Philadelphia, "that people were speechless, after they screamed their guts out."

-- Passing the Stockton Street window of Macy's Men's Store, Paul Spiegel couldn't help noticing that the mannequin on the left, the guy in the tightish green sweater and black jeans, looks like a man of many parts. Perhaps he's taking hormones; the guy's shapely bosom appears to have been borrowed from a female mannequin.

-- Having temporarily abandoned Nob Hill to tend to a sick friend in Mill Valley, Nick Diamos complains: "Aside from owning oversize dogs that appear pleasantly warm, kindly, affable and reasonably intelligent, like the toddlers they push around in their designer strollers, these folks to which wealth flows in great plentitude are dull." Are there fewer rich people on the hills of San Francisco than in the valleys of Marin County? Are the citizens of Mill Valley going to take that lying down?

-- A pie called the Diana is being offered to customers of Pizza Express in England. -- Beatles representative Geoff Baker told Entertainment Weekly the idea of the three surviving band members reuniting to promote the new Volkswagen Beetle is "out to lunch." -- Charmaine Sinclair, who has been named as one of the players in an international prostitution ring, told the Sunday Mirror of London that she had sex with Robert De Niro and that he told her she had a better backside than that of supermodel Naomi Campbell, one of his previous girlfriends.

-- Truth in journalism: The credit on a story about Monica Lewinsky conspiracy theorists on Mother Jones magazine's Web site (www.motherjones.com) specifies that its editor attended Hebrew school with Lewinsky. The inquiring mind of Strange de Jim wonders whether Kenneth Starr has a "weird sex life."

-- Riding the waves: Trend experts cited in the Wall Street Journal say that green is getting tired and blue is a-coming in. And according to New York magazine, Tab and Fresca are coming back. Furthermore, Publisher's Weekly says that a new edition of "Aesop's Fables" includes such little known tales as the one about the beaver that bit off its genitals and, to put it delicately, the camel that used the river as a rest room.

-- If Jerry Matters is bothered by "as well as" instead of "too," then Sam Zuckerman is annoyed by "at this time" instead of "now"; and Jack Hill can't stand "shrunk" instead of "shrank," a trend he blames on the movie "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids."
